Baked Sunday Mornings: Caramel Candy Popcorn Balls
Popcorn and caramel and candy in one treat? Check, check, and check. Baked Sunday Mornings made Caramel Candy Popcorn Balls from Baked Occasions this week to celebrate Administrative Professionals’ Day… Man, I reeeeally wanted to like these. BAKED developed them as a tongue-in-cheek nod to the old-school notion of “secretaries” from decades past. I think they capture this (fortunately) […]
Baked Sunday Mornings: S Cookies
I’m slowly building my repertoire of Italian pastries, and I’d like to think that I’m getting fairly familiar with a wide array of regional specialties. (I’m even thisclose to finally posting my blog series based on my two recent trips to Italy– this has been literally years in the making.) But S Cookies? Never heard of ’em. […]
Baked Sunday Mornings: Tricolor Cake
I’ve made no secret of the fact that Italy tugs at my heartstrings on a daily basis. In fact, I hope to live there one day… However, there’s one little problem with that. (I mean, in addition to not being a citizen, learning better Italian, getting a job there, and a host of other minor […]
Baked Sunday Mornings: Kitchen Sink Dutch Baby
I’ve come a long way with bananas. I’ve talked a number of times before on this blog about my dislike for the slimy things, though I have genuinely come to like them in certain applications, such as banana bread and especially banana cake. BUT. I’ve also learned that there’s a threshold for my banana tolerance, and […]

Baked Sunday Mornings: Vanilla Bean Angel Food Cake with Milk Chocolate Glaze
Ah, February. Hearts, chocolates, long-stem red roses, and yes– it is the time when Cupid roams the land in search of would-be lovers to stick with his aphrodisiac arrow. I admit that I celebrate Valentine’s Day with a hearty eyeroll, but I do love all manner of heart-shaped baked treats and anything slathered in chocolate. […]
Baked Sunday Mornings: Nutella Chip Cookies
The Italians get it right; when it comes to food, in my opinion their culinary prowess is unparalleled in the world. One such invention is the luxurious chocolate-hazelnut spread that we know and love as Nutella. It is the filling lovingly shmeared on slices of bread by Italian mothers for their children; the ultimate topping slathered on waffles […]
Baked Sunday Mornings: Caramel-y Banana, Peanut Butter, & Chocolate Bread Pudding

[…]
Baked Sunday Mornings: Baked Ultimate Birthday Cake
Happy New Year! You guys, 2016 was rough. I’m hoping that 2017 will be a better year, but given the impending doom that will befall our nation on January 20, I’m bracing myself for more rough times ahead. But hey, *today* is New Year’s Day, so let’s start things off with CAKE. Because what better […]
Baked Sunday Mornings: Orange Pineapple Walnut Fruitcake
Insofar as I would ever like fruitcake, I didn’t hate this Orange Pineapple Walnut Fruitcake as much as I thought I would. And I fully expected to hate it because it was one of the recipes that I tested for Baked Occasions a few years back. The recipe was a good fruitcake recipe, assuming you find fruitcake edible […]
